So, all those gun-strapped white amendment heroes with their AKs and the foreknowledge that the cops will do NOTHING to them haven't managed to get as serious as these protestors with rocks and matches. I think this is a valuable datapoint in any balk models.

Louisville protesters have been shot. Unknown who fired. Police are providing initial triage while the medics are called. It's possible a boogaloo person opened fire to try and up the heat.

They don't have the stomach for it. Despite their civil war fantasies.

Here's a good write-up of the Civil War 2, Boogaloo, Big Igloo, aloha shirt crowd btw:

They're not exactly a bunch of Nazis yet, but they have a lot of trouble keeping the Nazis from taking over.

No sources but it's being said it was the guy who was driving the prison transport, who got out and opened fire on the crowd around the transport

Did they shoot the 'looters'? Or were any 'scavengers' who were gathering end table lamps and legos to feed their families hit?

That's actually really helpful. I've seen that igloo flag with murdered black folks on it, so I was suspending judgement, but Finicum gave me real bad vibes and it's good to know this is going the way of all 'big tent' movements.

i'm getting the feeling that the big democrat governors started calling each other after the conference call with Trump today when they realized he was ready to go into a full religious civil war to stop the protests

CNN was ready to roll with anti-trump comments, and had Priztker and Cuomo ready to give short speeches about how a peaceful compromise to the protests was possible. finally the head of NAACP said that suburban white trust democrats more to reach a solution to this. It was a pitch to elements of the ruling and middle class against Trumps call to mobilize the military and CHUDs. I also wonder if the lack of Newsom coverage is partly national democrats getting worried that California might get separatist aspirations if the leadership there leads any anti-Trump force.

So Shattered Union was prophecy after all.

PipHelix
Nov 11, 2017



Went looking for news on the whole uprising situation, checked the Guardian. Their liveblog has a rundown of each city and the violence, don't see mine, huh funny, city hall burned.

Then I see the reference to Vegas, which I hadn't heard about, click and it's a redirect to Slack. Turns out half the links are.

Send it to a friend who works in media/transparency NGOs abroad, and he explains it's probably some exhausted intern or reporter dragging links out of an internal slack and not checking the links before hitting publish. Then explains that pretty much the entire non-English speaking world put specific media carveouts in their bailouts to account for the crash in business ads. US and UK have not, so... Basically there is no non-cable news service. To the extent anyone would consider cable news news.

Guess it's time to brush up on my Hangukuh and get news about my own country from the Dong-A Ilbo.

The exact circumstances wherein a governor would have the ability to remove another elected official well vary from state to state based on the Constitution of that given state.
